The Big Five Personality

The “Big Five” model of personality dimensions has emerged as one of the most well-researched and well-regarded measures of personality structure in recent years. The models five domains of personality, Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Ageeableness, and Neuroticism, were conceived by Tupes and Christal.

I am asked to evaluate the use of language or symbolism used by five different friends to my facebook personality domain (according to your own perception).
Then, I need to copy 10 posts of text, pictures or emoticons that appear in my facebook into Notepad.

I use a software named AntConc to analyze language or representation in all the 10 posts (example: d1_01. Txt to d1_10. Txt) used by my Facebook friends according to the personality domain.
Then I create a report on the frequency of phrases that show the personality of my facebook friends (not from the ELS/Linguistics students who are taking this course)according to the context of the interaction that causes them to use the phrase.

The Big Five traits are characterized by the following:
